| Summary: | With the development of deep learning, breakthroughs have been made in the field of semantic segmentation. However, it is difficult to generate a fine mask on the same medical images because medical images have low contrast, high resolution, and insufficient semantic information. In most scenarios, existing approaches mostly use a pooling layer to reduce the resolution of feature maps. Therefore, it is difficult for them to consider the whole image features, resulting in information loss and performance degradation. In this paper, a multiscale asymmetric encoder-decoder semantic segmentation network is proposed. The network consists of two parts, which perform feature extraction and image restoration on the input, respectively. The encoder network obtains multiscale feature information by connecting multiple ASPP modules to form a feature pyramid. Meanwhile, the upsampling layer of each decoder can be connected to the feature map generated by the corresponding ASPP module. Finally, the classification information of each pixel is obtained through the sigmoid function. The performance of the proposed method can be verified on publicly available datasets. The experimental evidence shows that the proposed method can take full advantage of multiscale feature information and achieve superior performance with less inference computational cost.
